President Donald Trump launched a Twitter tirade on the topic of the caravan of illegal immigrants heading for the US southern border after Mexico seemed unable to stop the large flow of people.

Speaking on social media this morning, Mr Trump said: “Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency. Must change laws!”

He then went on to blame his rival political party, the Democrats, for not allowing him to change the US’s immigration laws, something he believes is necessary. Mr Trump stated: “Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.”

Lastly, as promised last week, the US President also addressed the topic of financial aid to Central American nations and vowed to cut back on supporting them, saying: “Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.”

Help me understand why exactly we give any tax dollars to these countries? Unless we have a military base on their soil that we are leasing land for, I see zero reason to send our cash to countries that are dead set on ruining America.

Militias rise, We ABSOLUTELY will. This one is up to US. We should already have caravans of Militia heading that way. I am ready to go. If these idiots saw images of Caravans, of MILLIONS of Americans headed to the border, armed to the teeth, they would turn around. People are so weak and pathetic. They would rather whine and cry, then take action themselves.
